This book talks about the importance of a hijab and how much she appreciates her sisters confidence. I really loved that she goes to talk about how the Hijab is very significant to her family and how she will be so proud and confident to wear a blue hijab some day. “Mama: Don’t carry around the hurtful words that others say. Drop them. They are not yours to keep. / They belong only to those who said them.” My favorite quote from The Proudest Blue! This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are very imaginative and evocative and the story itself is very heartfelt. A girl’s older sister wears her hijab all day for the first time and as the younger sister watches some of the other kids make fun of her for it, she also watched as her sister proudly wears her hijab and doesn’t let the words affect that pride. no reviews | add a review
